Listen Later

Hosted by:

Bronte Lister – Accredited Practising Dietitian & Performance Dietitian

Episode Summary:

Ever realised it's been hours since you last ate, then suddenly felt an intense need to eat everything in sight? If you have ADHD, you're not alone. ADHD impacts hunger, cravings, and impulse control, which can make eating patterns feel unpredictable.

In this episode, we break down: ✅ Why binge eating is more common in ADHD & what's actually happening in the brain ✅ The link between dopamine, impulsivity & food cravings ✅ Why restriction makes binge eating worse (not better!) ✅ ADHD-friendly eating strategies to work with your brain, not against it

Challenge for the Week:

Pick one strategy from this episode to practise—whether it's setting a meal reminder, making a dopamine list, or approaching food with curiosity instead of judgment.
